The first images of the Wayfarer app have been released! The app is still in an early beta version so far, but will be expanded in the future. The following is currently possible:
🔸 All Wayspots in the near vicinity are displayed. This includes Wayspots that have not appeared in any Niantic games.
🔸 Wayspots can be reported. There are more reasons to report than in the Niantic games and includes "Bad photo", "Fake Wayspot", "Too big/high to scan" and others. It is unknown if reported Wayspots will be removed after a successful review.
🔸 Wayspots can be scanned.
🔸 The new "VPS" system can be tested with Wayspots where VPS is active. More information about VPS can be found here.
The beta is currently available on iOS for developers of the Niantic Lightship platform. If the Beta will come to Android or when app will be released to the public is unclear.

The agents of the Chinese news channel @BehindTheScannerChinese have received confirmation from Thia regarding scans that are made before the #EosImprint event but are uploaded during the event.
These scans will count for the event and will be counted at the time the scan is uploaded. If you have made and collected scans in the last few days, you don't have to worry about them not counting. Conversely, if a scan is made during the event but only uploaded after the event is over, it will not count.

June 14th is World Blood Donor Day! It's the perfect time to roll up your sleeve and donate some of your blood in your body.
Need a little incentive? The folks of the #RedFaction are sending out a special embroidered patch for giving blood! Simply take a photo of yourself with your Ingress agent IGN somewhere in the picture while 'raising a sleeve' (donating a pint of the dark red stuff) with some sort of Ingress related item/swag in the picture as well. Post the picture to Social Media and fill out the form on the website! There is no time limit for recieving the patch.
Can't donate blood? Agent @CtrlAltFck has created and shared files for a misson banner! You can use these to create a new banner to support the community as well.

The Summer Solstice Event has started several minutes ago, and for some Agents, the goal was easily met!
Unfortunately, Agents are also reporting some issues with the Scanner's response times.
We will keep monitoring the situation and update you once the issue is resolved.
Status @ 1608 UTC: 🔴 Yep, lagging
Status @ 1613 UTC: 🔴 The whole app seems down, Agents unable to login.
Status @ 1630 UTC: 🔴 Niantic is aware of the issue
Status @ 1650 UTC: 🟠 Ingress is slowly recovering. Medal still delayed.
Status @ 1655 UTC: 🟢 Issue seems resolved. Try glyph hacking a portal if you haven't received your medal yet.

Juneteenth (officially Juneteenth National Independence Day) is a federal holiday commemorating the liberation of African Americans in the United States from slavery, celebrated annually on June 19. It is the oldest holiday commemorating the freeing of slaves in the United States and has been an official federal holiday in the United States since June 17, 2021. The American word is a portmanteau of the English words June and nineteenth - that is, for the date Juneteenth.
In the wake of this, Niantic has made three Black Lives Matter beacons available for free in the Store.

With Ingress version 2.95.1 (currently scheduled for mid-July), the requirements of the operating system you have installed on your phone increases.
With 2.95.1, you must have at least the following OS version installed on your phone:
🔸Android: Android 8 or higher.
🔸iPhone: iOS 14 or higher
If you have a phone that no longer supports these versions, you won't be able to play Ingress without switching to another phone.
Niantic also notes that beta versions of Android and iOS are not officially supported and Ingress may not work on them.
